Sorry to hear about the Ferrari experience. Good luck with the C8. Should be much better, and easier on the pocket book as well. Welcome to the forum.

The same seasoned mechanic, GM Certified, to work on the Sonic, Trax, Equinox, Cavalier, Cobalt, Corsica, Cruz & Volt is....

Learning the intricacies of the C8 right now, watching the Film Strip in the lunch room over a bologna sandwich and a bag of Cheetos.

With the new film strip technology, the orange cheese powder won't get on the pages of the repair manual.

GM latest technology is cutting edge.

Sounds like the reason I would not pull the trigger on McLaren 720s.. service and parts would be an issue if I drove it a bunch

Welcome and best wishes with your 2020 search.
Nice car pic, but understand the issue with service. Your new Vette should definitely be much more affordable.

Why not just wait for the Z06? Maybe all the bugs and such will be addressed by then
